Hymnal: The Little Seraph #84b (1874) First Line: Burst, ye em'rald gates, and bring Lyrics: 1 Burst, ye em'rald gates, and bring
To my raptured vision.
All the ecstatic joys that spring
Round the bright elysian;
Lo! we lift our longing eyes,
Break, ye intervening skies?
Sons of righteousness arise,
Ope the gates of paradise. Tune Title: MERDIN
